Art Of Partying

Originally released in 2007, The Art Of Partying is widely considered to be Municipal Waste’s best piece of work and certainly the album that elevated them to the throne of the party thrash genre. The band built up a large cult following and widespread media acclaim for their infectious brand of metal and their notorious live shows and went onto tour with big names such as Lamb Of God, Napalm Death, Testament, Iced Earth. The Art of Partying’ defined the sound of the ‘new wave of Thrash’ and included the hit videos ‘Headbanger Face Rip’ and ‘Sadistic Magician’. 2018/2019 Tour Dates Oct 10th – Tecate Mexico Metal Fest – Monterrey, CA Nov 2nd – Canton Hall – Dallas, TX Nov 3rd – Mohawk – Austin, TX Nov 4th – Southport Hall – New Orleans, LA Nov 6th – The Orpheum – Tampa, FL Nov 7th – The Masquerade – Atlanta, GA Nov 9th – Black Cat – Washington, DC Nov 10th – The National – Richmond, VA Nov 11th – Warsaw – Brooklyn, NY Nov 12th – Union Transfer – Philadelphia, PA Nov 13th – Paradise Rock Club – Boston, MA Nov 15th – Metro – Chicago, IL Nov 17th – The Oriental Theater – Denver, CO Nov 18th – Metro Music Hall – Salt Lake City, UT Nov 20th – The Bossanova Ballroom – Portland, OR Nov 21st – The Showbox – Seattle, WA Nov 23rd - Ace Of Spades –Sacramento, CA Nov 24th - The UC Theatre – Berkeley, CA Nov 25th – Brick By Brick – San Diego, CA Nov 26th – The Observatory – Santa Ana, CA Jan 17th – Astra – Berlin, DE Jan 18th - Große Freiheit 36 – Hamburg, DE Jan 19th - Kraftwerk Mitte - Dresden, DE SALES POINTS •First time on digipack CD. •The Art Of Partying was nominated for countless ‘Album of the Year’ polls upon release in 2010 including Rock Hard Spain (#2), Close Up Sweden (#5), Big Cheese UK (#11), Terrorizer UK (#15) plus many more. •The band has toured heavily around the world including a US arena tour with Lamb Of God as well as all major European festivals.
